Default I think you're talking about water/(m)ethanol injection. $.99 blue washer fluid.
they do it for Buick Grand Nationals. Buick pulled it from the OE spec at the last minute. They even have a dash light for it.

Default Nope, I'm a total wusspod when it comes to that stuff.
I'm afraid that I'll spill some on the paint and/or that debris in the Toulene/Xylene will get in the tank.

I've seen many friends of mine do it without issue so I guess I'm alright with it.
